A New Twist for St. Patrick's Day in Lancaster!

Chicago River on St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is such a wonderful tradition across America, and you don't need a drop of Irish blood in your veins to feel Irish on March 17th. We've lived in places like Chicago, where the river flowed green on St. Patrick's Day each year, and Cleveland, where green beer somehow tasted better than your usual brand. And our many years in Nashville included a rousing mix of bluegrass and Irish music each St. Paddy's Day.

But this year, here in Lancaster County, we have special plans for March 17th. You see the American Quilter's Society is holding its 2nd Annual Lancaster Quilt Show next week, and our B&B association (Authentic Bed & Breakfasts of Lancaster County) is hosting a huge party for visiting quilters on March 17th at the renowned Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum. There will, no doubt, be plenty of green mixed in with the rest of the festivities, including green quilts, green beer, and some Irish music performed by local musicians. There'll also be quilting demonstrations, book signings, great door prizes, and lots of food & fun. If you can make it to Lancaster County during the March 16-19 AQS Quilt Show, please make it a point to join our party. And of course we'd love to have you stay with us here at the Apple Bin Inn while you're in town.  We'll save a room for you!
